Details of your catches:

We fished peg 10 and had 60 fish between us, carp caught all over the lake. Same 57lb sturgeon was caught 3 times and another at around 50lb. Biggest carp was 56lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Match the hatch or yellow worked well but I believe anything will work if you were on the fish. A couple of large scoops of bait or pva bags was very successful. Lake has barely no weed and largely a silt bottom.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Toilet and shower very small but served a purpose, shower had good hot water, plenty of freezer and fridge space with serval charging points with English plugs.

Were you happy with them?

Basic but all you need for a weeks fishing.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

100%, amazing fishery. Owners come round nearly everyday offering any help or advice you needed. Only moan would be the amount of coypu and rats around the swims at night but the fishing soon distracted us from that.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes.

General Comments:

Great fishery that will only get better over time, heard a lot about the “nuisance grass carp” but personally I had 25 fish and caught 8, mate I fished with had 35 carp and had 1. So far from a pain in my opinion I caught grass to 44lb which fought like no other carp ive caught before so cannot complain. You can drive around the whole lake making it easy to unload and the local village has a great kebab house. “L’oriental kebab”

80 fish including grass, mirror and common carp up to 47lb, plus 4 sturgeon up to 56lb. Great week.

General Comments:

The weather was extremely hot for the 1st few days and the fishing was quite slow. Most bites starting around 8pm. We then had a big storm and cooler conditions and the fishing picked up with day and night takes. We all like the lake and no doubt the fishing is great, but the grass carp are a nuisance. Catching a few is OK but we had loads!! We wouldn't return for that reason sadly. All that said, we did have some lovely long commons & unique looking mirrors.

Details of your catches:

59 carp caught around all swims to 49.5lb, a few grass carp to 30lb and one sturgeon 55lb
